A Fraudulent Pension.

CHICAGO, June 20.-lSpecial Telegram to
the Bee. Francis Patterson, better known
as Blind Patterson, who received over 3d.
600 as back pension recently, has parted with
the money already. AS soon as Patterson re-
ceived his check, several individuals became
interested in his behalf. A legal movement
was instituted to place Patterson and his
money in the hands of a guardian. While
the proceedings were under way, Patterson
and bis wife and daughter fled from the state,
going to Troy, Pa. At Troy they were met
by DR.. A. N. Mills, and went to Willamsport,
where the certificate of deposit of $4,000
on the Second National bank of Elmira was
turned over to Mills, he holding power of at

with nearly the entire amount of the pen

| in connection with the Patterson pension
Wilkes Miller, well-knOwn citizen, went
before Justice Galalin and made affidavit

not by service In the army and that the large

cured by fraud, and the government will
have the task of arresting and Furnishing
every one connected with the fraudulent

the "Hail Columbia" bachelOresses of arts and
all other feminine students in America, have

What is additionally remarkable is that her

gov university, each obtained first class in
the classics when they took degrees at Ok
ford. Miss Ramsey has just reached twenty
years, and several Of her male competitors
